There are countless extraordinary items for auction here, from original artwork by Reykjavik artists, to dates with members of the smokin hot Swedish Barista Team, to a six-foot high pyramid of coffee cups, to the famous ”or infamous? ”goat trophy that Klaus won in 2006 at the World Barista Championship in Bern, Switzerland. We’ll have more details about the auction winners to come, but here are some images from those most memorable items…
And the winner is…
Steve Leighton of Has Bean in the U.K. showed up as a delightful surprise today (he entered his coffee in the Nordic Roaster competition). When faced with the opportunity to win the chance to dive through a pyramid of used coffee cups, he paid 49 Euros!
We’ll have more information about the total amount raised in the auction to come. All money will go to the Costa Rican charity project, Manos Abiertos. What a day!
